I just got back from the Kansas City Quilt Guild meeting where I was a guest speaker. Those ladies (and gentleman) are what's what. Lots of nice work being made, tons of great support and community. Anyone in the greater KC area interested in modern quilts (a la Denyse Schmidt) needs to check them out.
